IDENTIFICATION DATA
The position of the identification data of the machine
1) Identification of the machine according to EU directives.
ATTENTION:
Check that your GB065 high pressure washer has been provided with these identification details, if
they have not been provided please inform your local dealer immediately.
Machines which have not been provided with these details MUST NOT BE USED, and should be
considered anonymous and potentially dangerous.
It is obligatory that you ensure that the data label is always attached to the machine and clearly
legible.
In case of damage, loss or illegibility, you should submit a written request to the manufacturer
who will then provide you with a new one.
IMPORTANT COMPONENTS of your machine:
Fig1: Engine on – off switch:
Must be on when starting and switch to off position to stop motor
11 | P a g e
Fig2: Pressure adjustment knob to
adjust the pressure on water usage of your
machine (these may differ in looks) – turn
anticlockwise for a lower pressure and water
usage and clockwise for a higher pressure
and higher water usage.
When starting the machine please note the
Priming /Decompression valve positions
(below) – optional
Fig3: High pressure outlet: This is where the high-pressure hose
connects. If your machine does not have a Priming/decompression valve, it
may be best to start the machine with the high pressure hose off this point,
when sucking water from a tank.
Fig4: Engine Fuel tap lever (black) and choke lever (grey)
The figure shown is the starting position before pulling the pull cord when
the engine is cold. Black lever to the right (on position) – this stays in this
position throughout the operation ; Grey lever to the left (on position) –
12 | P a g e
this choke lever is moved immediately to the right (off position) when the engine starts running.
Fig5: Warm start or trouble start position - Engine Fuel tap lever
(black) to the right and choke lever (grey) in centre position. Don’t forget
to move this choke lever immediately to the right (off position) when the
engine starts running
Sometimes the engine will not start because of fuel airlock or fuel that
has gone off. Please carefully follow the procedure on page 19 if you are
struggling to start the engine.
High pressure jets:
To operate the machine, you will need to select a SSQ high pressure jet and then insert it into the
end of the spray lance.
Please ensure that you put the safety catch on the ON position as shown in the figure above.
‘O’ degree (straight spray jet) delivers a pinpoint stream and is extremely
powerful. It covers only a small area of cleaning. For a similar effect but a
quicker clean you can use a turbo (rotating pin point stream) nozzle see below.
Turbo head (rotating pin point stream Head) – Effectively doubles the
cleaning impact of your pressure washer. Known to clean up to 3x faster
than standard jets.
15, 25, 40 degree fan tips giving you a choice of cleaning widths.
Please remember: The wider the fan the less the high-pressure water
jet impact. But the quicker the coverage.
The Chemical nozzle (brass with the biggest orifice) This gives the lowest
pressure and will draw chemicals through when used with the chemical injector.
13 | P a g e
14 | P a g e
USE WITH CHEMICAL PRODUCTS
With the machine shut down, act the device (adjustable head) placed on the lance end to obtain
the suction and the distribution of the product; pull the gun trigger to obtain the detergent
distribution and start the work.
ATTENTION
During operation of the machine, it is obligatory to use the appropriate personal safety equipment.
During operation, please pay close attention to the information quoted on the chemical product
labels regarding safety and the proper percentages to be used when diluting chemicals.
Fill the detergent tank (5) with the product you intend to use for your work and insert the
detergent hose suction.
Repeat actions 1, 2 and 3 as per cold water use.
During operation, the detergent will be sucked up and automatically mixed with the water.
Practical Advice
Avoid soaking with water the surface you then wish to treat with detergent because, in doing so,
you can place a film of water over the area you wish to treat, resulting in poor cleaning results.
Instead, whilst holding the nozzle pointing towards the ground, wait until the detergent exits the
nozzle. When the detergent exits the nozzle, approach the surface you wish to treat, start from the
bottom with overlapping strips until you reach the top of the area, sprinkling the whole are with
detergent. This system is known to avoid dripping of detergent onto dry surfaces, the residue of
which could remain even after rinsing.
15 | P a g e
In order to avoid the formation of deposits or crusts, at the end of operation it is advisable to pass
clean water through the pump for a few seconds.
Important Advice
To safeguard the environment, we advise that only authorised detergents are used, that the
recommendations of use and dosage are observed on the product labels, that detergent is used
sparingly and remember that use of inappropriate detergent, as well as damaging the environment
can damage the hot water cleaner as well as the objects being cleaned.
USE DETERGENTS WHICH ARE OVER 90% BIODEGRADEABLE.
Before sprinkling detergent over varnished areas with delicate colours, make sure that the
surfaces to be treated are not hot, that the detergent has not dried and that the concentration of
water / detergent is correct.
IMPORTANT: Rinse well.
Upon completion of operation, shut down the machine then squeeze the pistol lever until the
residual water pressure has been expelled.
Detergent Suitable to use through pressure washers:
VTC120 VTC620 VTC320 VDG
VTC120, VTC620,VTC320: Apply and then rinse well (do not allow to dry on surface). A good
method is applying from the bottom up and rinse from the top down.
VDG (D-GREEN): Rinse off heavy soiling then apply and leave to dry (do not rinse off)
Detergent NOT suitable to be applied through pressure washers:
VTC520: This must not be used on painted surfaces and can only be pre-sprayed
through a hand sprayer or painted on whilst wearing with hand protection and then
can be rinsed off with a pressure washer.
LUBRICATION OF THE PUMP
For the models VTUF110 & VTUF240 & VTUF415 we recommend:
V-TUF Pressure Lube PL500 – OIL CAPACITY 0.5 litres
You should change the oil after the first 50 hours of use, and after each
subsequent 500 hours of operation.
16 | P a g e
TRANSPORT – LIFTING – SHIFTING
ATTENTION:
Whenever the machine needs to be transported, it should be securely fixed with straps, cables or
other suitable equipment in order to avoid accidental movement which could cause damage to
people or property as well as to the machine itself.
ATTENTION:
Should the machine need to be lifted, it should be hooked or coupled by means of strips, or
suitable lifting equipment which will safeguard the machine’s integrity. Make certain that the lifting
equipment used has superior capacity to the weight and volume of the machine; the use of
equipment conforming to current applicable safety standards is recommended.
ATTENTION:
It is strictly forbidden to remain under or in the immediate vicinity of the machine while it is being
lifted or elevated.
Do not trust crushed or bent chains or straps, always use thick working gloves.
